Though the James Balog documentary Chasing Ice narrowly missed getting an Oscar Award for best original song—“Before My Time,” written by J. Ralph and rendered by Scarlett Johansson and Joshua Bell—the movie itself is still touring and resonating around the world.

Described as “terse but comprehensive” by the Sundance Film Festival, the movie won the Excellence in Cinematography award when it premiered there earlier this year.
